DESIGN AND METHODS: An integrative review was conducted with 54 articles related to management of this transplant population. A nine-member nursing team integrated the findings. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This resulting guideline represents the best research and best practices on which to base staff education and competency validations to manage this medically fragile patient population.
